I need help designing meaningful side quests. Here are examples of effective approaches:

**Example 1: World-Building Quest**
Quest: "The Old Mill"
Surface: Help repair a mill
Deeper: Reveals economic history of region, hints at coming famine

**Example 2: Character Showcase**
Quest: "Borrowed Time"
Surface: Fetch medicine for sick elder
Deeper: Develops companion backstory, reveals their fear of loss

Now create a side quest for {{game_setting}} that:
- Surface Goal: {{surface_objective}}
- Hidden Purpose: {{deeper_purpose}}
- Connected to: {{main_story_connection}}

Include:
- Quest giver and their motivation
- 3 objectives with optional depth
- Reward that feels thematically appropriate
- How it enriches understanding of {{enrichment_target}}
